I can be a pretty naive guy. I am continually amazed not just by the volume, but by the varieties of creepiness that women have to put up with on a daily basis. WTF, Anon?

It’s completely normal to ask a stranger to let you touch their feet. /s

Oof. There’s fucking up, and then there’s getting banned from Wal-Mart. The only lower position is getting banned from the dollar store.

This all reminded me of the before times when I worked retail. I’d seen this guy who creeped me TF out for years over the course of a few jobs in the same town. His gf was very clearly in highschool and he was probably 30 the 1st time I encountered him. He was a regular at this smoothie shop I worked at, and I tried to avoid dealing with him at all costs. A few years later he’s in the grocery store I work at all the time with the same gf (hey, at least she was definitely 18 by this point).

One day they propositioned one of the cashiers for a threesome. She freaked out and got the guy 86’d from the store. Eventually they compromised to let him back in as long as he didn’t approach any female employees for anything.

Fast forward a few years and I was working a desk job and working on trying to get a promotion to manager. I screwed up one day and overslept and was late. That fuck up took me out of the running and my boss said he was going to look for external hires. Who comes in for an interview but that fucking guy. I pulled my manager aside and told him all the history he had at the grocery store, the underage gf, everything. He thought I was making up an elaborate story because I was mad I wasn’t getting promoted, and went ahead with the hire.

6 months later (after I had quit) he got canned for sexual harassment for trying to kiss the lady working on night shift. (Shocker) Life can be fucking weird sometimes.

Better than the one I worked at. There was a dude that worked there that was harassing one of the cashiers and instead of firing him they moved him out to the tire shop with us. He had 0 experience with cars and wasn’t qualified for that even by Wal-Mart standards. A couple weeks later he got fired for fucking up too many cars but in the mean time we bullied the shit out of him for being a creep and walked him out after we closed to make sure he actually left and didn’t try to wait around for her to get off.

Anon tries Pulp Fiction rizz

Everyday I thank the lord I’m not into feet.

I’m visiting US in 2 weeks… Is Walmart really as dank as I keep hearing?

Of course he got banned, he didn’t offer the manager a foot rub too. What was he thinking?

Nothing quite like being a creep and harassing people at there job.

Good thing he offered though. That was finally big and explicit enough an offense to allow her to report him and end the smaller, subtler harassment she had to suffer until then for the sake of customer service.

I can see how someone would make this mistake. On the other hand, it’s not hard to see why this is a bad idea.

Here’s the situation. Approaching or propositioning anyone while they’re at work is going to come off poorly since they’re backed into a corner. They’re a captive audience, as they must be in that space in order to get paid. In the case of retail, not only are they supposed to be nice to you, but they often can’t physically avoid you lest they get in trouble for poor service. In the end, the already hard job of saying “no” is made much worse by compounding it with proper workplace behavior. And even if they would find your advances interesting in any other setting, it’s the workplace that’s likely to sour things.

Edit: Anon needs to do this in a setting where everyone can come and go freely, in a place where people deliberately go to be social.
